0% Villa: Rooney signs new 5 year contract!

[Nev]

He can paint the town Blue if he likes but his behaviour towards Moyes and the club, in my opinion, was unforgiveable.

But of course, he'll take absolutely no responsibility whatsoever, and blame everybody else. Rather like he did with the England fans in South Africa.

[Somniloquism]

I can't see any "Evertonian" decorations of this picture taken with father and son.

[Lizz]

To be honest, the best thing Rooney could decorate "Kai"'s bedroom walls with would be "I'M SORRY I GAVE YOU THAT STUPID FUCKING NAME" in massive letters.

Bleeding hell. In my thirst for knowledge about the name Kai, have discovered there's a website called babynamespedia.com. Not sure I'd choose the name Kai, but with apologies to any Waynes out there, prefer the name Kai to Wayne.

And, to complete the shitness, isn't the child's full name Kai Wayne Rooney?

[Lizz]

Yes, and apparently Kai was the 68th most popular boy's name last year. It's amazing what the internet teaches me.

I wonder which name was decided by the "I want to be seen to be fashionable" mother and which was decided by the "I can't be arsed with my family" father.

A young lad by the name of Kye (sic) plays in my boy's team. The coach genuinely thought it was a nickname and asked him a couple of times what his real name was

Wayne Kai would have been worse.

Thing that strikes me as odd in all this is the timing.

It's two months before the first available opportunity to move on presents itself. During that time he'll have to endure a fair amount of stick from United supporters having effectively told them their club doesn't meet his standards anymore.

These things usually go on behind closed doors anyway, but if he wanted to create an auction, announcing his intentions even early December would have been better than doing it now. It would have given him breathing space and the chance to recapture something approximating form in the meantime.

I have no doubts that he is as thick as pigshit so couldn't be trusted to pick the most sensible, hassle free option on his own. But he is being advised on this, possibly led by the nose by advisors and I can't believe they didn't veto this plan.

Unless of course it is their plan and they just want to give United long enough to come up with a stupid offer. Using the prospect of him leaving as a form of brinkmanship.

[pauliewalnuts]

I think the issue has probably been forced to some degree by his form having been so wretched for so long now.

If he's been offered mega money by Man City, then you throw in his personal turmoil, and it is going to affect his form. The longer he looks shit for club and company, the more questions people ask, and the more the issue is likely to get forced to the surface.

[greenwichvilla]

Just heard on the European Cup highlights show that according to the Mirror, there's a 10am meeting between Gill and Ferguson. Apparently he's either going to be transfer listed or suspended.

Thoughts?

[Salsa Party Animal]

If I were a foreign club I wouldn't hire him. I don't think Wayne Rooney is even good enough to get in Villa team.

I don't think Wayne Rooney is even good enough to get in Villa team.

No offence, that is just silly.

Football ability wise, he is what we always needed.  A drop in form doesn't make him a bad player overnight.

If you're talking about his character, I never have this thought of footballers being role models.  They are employed by the club to do what they do best, playing football, beyond that I don't give a shit.

So what are your saying if he bought out his contract and said he wanted to play for us because he always had a secret long standing affection for AVFC, and also we didnt need to pay him because hes the guy with the £113 million lottery ticket ?
Would you turn him down flat or at least put him on the bench with Sidwell ?

[Chico Hamilton III]

He is an open evertonian, he has been silly at times, but being ridiculed by the team he loves doesn't help.

He didn't really help himself much though by kissing his Man United badge when he played against Everton at Goodison.
